   Could this be a locale problem? Are your machines set up to
French-France? PythonWin is mostly tested in English-US.

   Just reinstalled and tried with French locale and it's still working for
me on W2K Professional.

   Try "string." which may be available even if the Win32 extensions have
gone missing.

   OK.

   Some of the options don't work until you shut down and restart PythonWin
but I expect you've tried that.
